Louisville just got hit with another batch of violations. The NCAA will put Louisville in the trash for at least three years if not a lot more.

Does Bruce really want to go there? All the money in the world without a chance to go to the big dance for several years.

I’m fairly agnostic on Hoke but this feels like his source is definitely someone in Pearl’s camp and they’re using Hoke to move the ball down the field and get some fan pressure on the admins.

I’m not positive but i think Hoke's program source is Prewett

Reads like the timing of all this is Pearl using Louisville for an extension and raise


The man deserves a raise. He’s earned it. He’s also put the program in a position and sustained it (not a flash in the pan year) that a basketball facility is warranted a serious discussion.

Hoke recently had a hit campaign against Mane Easy who basically is in the ears of all the players at auburn because some videos he was sent weren't tagged with the author, but Mane only can give a source if he knows the source so those without a source given weren't tagged. Really petty gab imo by Hoke.


NO idea what this means.

Pearl needs to get whatever he wants. I find it fascinating so many KY fans are hoping he goes to Louisville.

Their insecurity is crazy. They would rather have their traditional rival get stronger instead of risking to continue losing to us.

It's connected to the fact that they believe (sanctions, etc) that it would take him several years to rebuild and might not be able to replicate the success he had a UTk and Auburn.

They are worried about what he is doing at Auburn.

I shan't quibble over details. Either way would be acceptable.

Steven actually win something in Vegas, but J hOKE was attacking the we_all_about_the_au Instagram account ran by name Mane Eazy due to some photos or videos not having a source marked. They seemed to doing this mainly because Mane's updates get way more presence than anything On3 would get, even though Mane will credit a source if he gets one, and he never claims to own the photos being used.

Basketball isn’t like football. It’s easier to build and sustain a program. Not trying to minimize what Bruce has done by any means - he’s a helluva recruiter and coach.

I say all that to say Bruce doesn’t need to leave to win championships. Him staying isn’t like Bill Snyder staying at K-State.

Hasn't he been let go from most of the recruiting network sites, before popping up at whatever the newest one is?


He left reporting for awhile to work for Stephe Hooks in a pretty good role from what I understand. Pretty sure hooks sold the company or something so Hoke went back into writing, On3 gave him the best opportunity

Not a huge Hoke fan but I don't think I'd consider his jumping around being dumped

Bruce Pearl is biggest, most successful Athletic Sales Person Auburn has right now.

Pearl being interviewed while dripping sweat. To constantly, optimistically promote all Auburn sports, speaks volumes for the University. He’s worth more than this extension.
